Charles' law states that at constant pressure, volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Charles' law states that at constant pressure, volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to:
A. Molar mass
B. Pressure
C. Density
D. Absolute temperature
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Charles' law: V ∝ T (Kelvin) at constant P and n. V/T = constant. This means if temperature is doubled (in Kelvin), volume doubles. Temperature must be in Kelvin (K = °C + 273). Graph of V vs T is a straight line passing through origin. This law is used in hot air balloons: heated air expands, decreasing density, providing lift. Combined with Boyle's law gives PV = nRT.

Question #1
Which gas diffuses slowest?
A. H₂
B. CH₄
C. NH₃
D. CO₂

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Rate ∝ 1/√M. Molar masses: H₂=2, CH₄=16, NH₃=17, CO₂=44. CO₂ has highest mass, diffuses slowest.

Question #2
The main ore of aluminium is:
A. Bauxite
B. Haematite
C. Cinnabar
D. Galena

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Bauxite (Al₂O₃·2H₂O) is the principal ore of aluminium. Haematite is Fe₂O₃, galena is PbS, cinnabar is HgS. Bauxite is refined by Bayer's process to produce alumina, then electrolytically reduced (Hall-Héroult process).

Question #3
The alcohol present in alcoholic beverages is:
A. Butanol
B. Ethanol
C. Propanol
D. Methanol

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Ethanol (C₂H₅OH) is the intoxicating ingredient in beer, wine, spirits. Methanol is toxic. Propanol and butanol are used as solvents, not beverages.
